San Gabriel Mission High School, the "School with a Mission," is an all-girls Catholic College Preparatory high school located on the grounds of the fourth mission of California, which was founded in 1771 by Franciscan priests and often used by Junipero Serra as his headquarters. It is located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles. Their Mission statement is:
San Gabriel Mission High School, an IB World School, rooted in the Dominican and Claretian traditions, empowers young women to pursue education marked by respect, motivation, depth, character & integrity throughout their lives.
San Gabriel Mission High School is a Catholic College Preparatory high school, located on the grounds of the historic fourth mission of California, which was founded in 1771 by Franciscan priests. The Claretians began administration of the parish in 1908. The idea for the high school began in the mid-40’s and was the “vision of Father J. Nuevo, C.M.F., Mission San Gabriel pastor. With the need for a high school and the support of his parishioners, Father Nuevo had collected a sizable $245,000 toward the realization of the project.” He was transferred in 1948 and his successor, Eugene Herran, C.M.F. “only enjoyed a pastorate for a few months, as his success in dealing with the complexities of the new school building project resulted in his election as General Treasurer of the Claretian Fathers.” On January 16, 1949, the groundbreaking ceremonies took place. San Gabriel Mission High School opened in September 1949 as a co-institutional school, under the direction of the Claretians and Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. The new school quickly began to establish its identity by keeping its connection with Mission’s historical tradition, by choosing “Pioneers” as the school name. When the Claretians withdrew from the school, San Gabriel Mission High School became solely an all-girls’ school in the fall of 1971. Celebrating over 65 years of academic excellence, San Gabriel Mission High School is a place “Where we honor our past as we envision our future.”
In 2014, San Gabriel Mission High School became an authorized International Baccalaureate World School, Diploma Programme and the only all-girls school in the San Gabriel Valley with these credentials. San Gabriel Mission High School received authorization to implement the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme on January 30, 2014. The International Baccalaureate was established in 1968 and is recognized worldwide. Currently, 2,641 schools (globally) have earned IBDP authorization. San Gabriel Mission High School is one of eleven all-girl schools in the United States recognized as an IBDP school.
